This made my move from WM and Palm a piece of cake...  By: Willa Jabir - Apr 26, 2009 Version: 2.2 Update 2.2: As the description says, the bugs are fixed. It is much improved. It is not mentioned, but it loads faster and performs a bit faster than the 2.1 for me. I currently have the last 4 years of my check book in this program. If you still prefer one of the other apps, you didn't explore this one enough :) Update 2.1 : This version has done away with the 2 lines so you can see cleared and available balance at the same time. 2.0 was better :( No filters in the lite version, but it keeps showing "filtered balance" at the bottom of the register. This is a wonderful app. Some reviews state it is great and give it one star. The description says limited repeat transactions in lite version. It is just as the description claims it is. It is a bit slow on start up as it reloads your database. I have 3.5 years of data for 3 accounts. Takes about 2-3 seconds to load up one account and ready to use. But, for those of us with multiple accounts, we just wait a few more seconds and get the one we want. If you have only one account or don't need the power, get one of the lesser apps. I have it set to show my current actual balance AND show my current reconciled balance(Yes, both balances at the same time at the bottom) with the bank. So, when I verify my cleared transactions, I get the current reconciled balance with the bank and can verify I am current without running different menus or displays. IF you update the software, either backup your data first or update with itunes on the phone. Several are losing data by updating apps with iTunes on the desktop. If you are moving over from Palm, it is a little different, but you will appreciate the power compared to the other apps.
Meets all my needs and then some  By: Bubbag02 - Apr 6, 2009 Version: 2.0 This version is for 2.0. Didn't expect the 2.1 to come out when I decided to write this but if there's no negatives on the new version then this review will stand. I've tried the demos on some of the other financial apps and this one just seems to be the most intuitive and makes sense to me without confusing me with the details while giving me everything I'm looking for. Main things are ease of tracking all types of accounts including banking, credit, and cash, being able to track receivables and payables as well as transactions between the accounts themselves which was very important to me. You can also tab if a transaction has cleared, good for keeping track of whether transactions have real gone through or not. The ability to track your budget is really icing on the cake; I didn't need it but it works so well I can tell I'm going to be using it. I've already bought the full version and giving it a full workout. If you're looking for a full featured accounting app, definitely give this a try.
Love it! Even better with this update.  By: Jen from TX - Feb 18, 2009 Version: 2.0 This update brings a numeric keypad for easier data entry. It really is the ONLY reason I haven't dumped by other bank app for this one. The other reviewer having issues with repeating transactions, it seems that has been solved too, but quite awhile back. This LITE version very clearly states you are limited to two repeating transactions. For me, that's enough, as is the two account limit. Now with the numeric keypad, it's perfect! I can export my data and import into iBank, and vice versa. THANKS!
Love it  By: ijaxman - Aug 5, 2009 Version: 2.3.1 How can anyone give a 1-star rating to a FREE app that works? I just don't get it. Anyway, I use this as a checkbook to keep from accidentally overdrawing my account. It's perfect for that; I don't use it for anything else or sync it with my laptop. My only wish is that the Lite version would permit splitting of items. If you buy $10 of groceries and get $10 cash at the same time you cannot split the transaction. I live by this app.
Nice, but, could be even better  By: nitinchandra - May 2, 2009 Version: 2.2.1 Overall, a very nice, functional application, but, can be even better. QIF export crashes for all but US locales. Default categories cannot be deleted, they come back on restarting the application. Cannot select the top options from tools in landscape mode (does not scroll). Would be nice to have an account type and fields relevant for investment accounts like mutual funds/Stocks (NAV, units etc). Integration with the address book to select payees, enter account phone numbers/sites would be nice to have. Option to show account balances in a different color even when the spend is under the limit, instead of the same color with a minus sign. The budgeting could suggest a budget value based on entered transactions for the selected duration (monthly/yearly). Maybe someway of budgeting for investments that would require a certain amount of savings across the budget. Would be nice to have some examples document in the manual as to how/when to use/add classes/categories/payees, specially for first time adopters. Perhaps, an option to compact the db once in a while would be nice as also some mechanism of exporting all accounts/transactions/budgets with memos and import the same to re-create a fresh db to get the best possible performace.
Lite version has multiple currency options!!  By: DigitalDuck - Mar 22, 2009 Version: 1.4.2 I just downloaded this app about 30 minutes ago and already I am so pleased. I only need the two accounts that the lite version limits you to, but more importantly, I needed currency conversion because my main account is in Japanese yen and I still have an account back home in US dollars. It was so difficult finding an App that would give currency options.
PocketMoney is awesome for me, mad thanks to the developer for giving me the ability to easily and conceniently manage my expenditures!
Lifesaver  By: Luigi 2k9 - 14-Jun-2009 Version: 2.2.1 Love this app :) ever since I got a Saturday job I've been trying to keep money in check in excel for debit and general money but rarely updated it as I was never on :) this changed all that :)
This app has all the right features  By: nm1213 - 09-Mar-2009 Version: 1.4.2 The app is stable, fast (can handle many thousands of records), feature rich, and easy to use. Furthermore, the developer is responsive and genuinely interested in making the best finance app possible. The features come one by one after proper beta testing and so there are few bugs to frustrate customers.
Finaly it works  By: Dead because i killed it - Aug 23, 2009 Version: 2.3.2 There are so many stupif useless money apps... But only this one is legit
Great app  By: Moorebf235 - May 16, 2009 Version: 2.2.1 If you need more then two accounts stop bitching and buy the full version. I only have 1 so this app is great. And if I had more I would definitly pay for the full version.

transaction year 69  By: febsec - Apr 4, 2009 Version: 2.0 I had the same problem but once I contacted support, quickly resolved the issue- all I had to do is change a setting and reimport file.

Tried and true  By: ardee00 - Feb 2, 2009 Version: 1.4.1 The author has been creating versions of this program since the early 1990s, starting with the Apple Newton PDA. He is a very reliable and conscientious programmer. It's nice to see that he's made PocketMoney available for the iPhone! With this one you get a tried and true app and developer.
Expense Reports & Pie Charts??  By: OrganicEgo - Jan 29, 2009 Version: 2.1 i love this app! its very useful and the lite version us all that i need but how do i create reports and charts? im more interested in the charts...
Outstanding  By: Katorado - Jan 13, 2009 Version: 1.4.1 Took a few minutes to figure it out. I love it. I use it to track my budget categories like my allowance and my husband's. Can enter expenditures on the run. The lite version is all I need so hopefully it will stay free.
Awesome  By: Zane 123456 - 2-Jun-2009 Version: 2.2.1 This app is awesome. The one I was using before didn't have the option for more than one account big plus.
So far so good  By: Flip79 - 24-Apr-2009 Version: 2.1 Will probably be getting the full version soon.
But what I'd love: to be able to photograph receipts and store them like u would a memo.
Awesome  By: Jmanikus - 27-Mar-2009 Version: 2.0 Best finance program on the iphone
